Oh Wisdom, Oh age, it is great when they combine together! I know I am old, not getting old but in the realm of oldness. I am old because I forgot to learn from my mistakes. Funny antidote mistakes but they really could have gone sideways and not be very funny mistakes at all. Mistakes…

My dream job has been achieved, in sorts. I always wanted to be one of those little old ladies at the precinct when you vote working the booths. I‘ve nailed the little old lady part; I mean I am crushing that! But Oregon only votes by mail. This means no little old ladies jobs! Or…
